Most sovereign States can’t spy on their own population. The NSA gets around this by spying on Germany from Denmark and on Denmark from Germany.

It’s all about plausible deniability. No matter how implausible it is.

The current spin from other countries being outraged begs the question: how are you collaborating with the NSA?

They're not outraged, they are just making fun of them for getting caught.
